Here are Matthew (shotgun) and Timmy (driver), my sister's Collies, ready to drive to Chicago.When we were kids and used to go to the bank or other errand with my dad, he would leave us in the car (back in the days when you could leave kids unattended in the car). We would climb through the bucket seats - our Dad drove a mustang - and sit in the front seats and pretend to drive to Chicago.
Last week I was in California and we moved my nephew the 350 miles back to CSUMB (Cal State Univ Monterey Bay). The "boys" apparently thought it would be fun to go along. Sorry guys, not enough room. Notice their dapper, cool summer haircuts.
Auntie Lisa also taught them a new trick. While getting ice out of the frig for my beverage, a few cubes landed on the floor. I just threw them into the dog water dish like I do at home. Matt and Timmy thought dunking for cubes was great fun and now expect it every time they hear the ice dispenser. Sorry sis.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it.
Isn't it fun to remember "the old days", when you could sit in a car with freedom to move. We used to take Sunday afternoon drives --- and end up at a Tastee Freeze, A & W, Lights or someplace for an ice cream treat.
Lisa, I've always said that dogs are SMART! Dusty's dog Doc used to drive Clark's van all the time. When Clark would come back after shopping or an appointment, there was Doc behind the steering wheel getting LOTS of attention from passers-by. Clark loved it! SO did Doc, I expect. Daisy
Cute! I am sure my cats would do something as silly if they road in the car.
Katy used to date a guy from England. His Dad was working for GM here in Lansing and he had a Cadillac that drove on the right side of the car. I tried in vain to get Andy to borrow his Dad's car and take Mickey for a ride. I'd have loved to see the faces of people when the dog appeared to be in the driver's seat! Alas, another dream dashed.
I remember falling asleep (I'm NOT tired") standing up in the back seat of the old Dodge.......
